Pneumatic brake system
#3
What is the purpose of the parking brake (handbrake) in a vehicle?
To assist in emergency stops
To hold the vehicle stationary when parked
To engage the ABS system
To improve braking performance
#4
What is the purpose of the brake warning light on the dashboard?
To indicate when the parking brake is engaged

#5
What does ABS stand for in the context of brake systems?
Automatic Braking System
Anti-lock Braking System
Advanced Brake Sensors
Assisted Brake Servicing
#6
What is the purpose of brake fluid in a hydraulic brake system?
To reduce friction between brake pads and rotors
To lubricate moving brake components
To transfer force from the brake pedal to the brake calipers
To transfer hydraulic pressure to actuate the brakes
#7
What component converts brake pedal pressure into hydraulic pressure in a brake system?
Master cylinder
Brake booster
Brake caliper
Brake rotor
#8
What is the purpose of a brake rotor in a disc brake system?

Higher braking force
Lower cost
Better corrosion resistance
#16
Which of the following is NOT a symptom of a failing brake booster?
Hard brake pedal
Delayed brake response
Hissing noise when pressing the brake pedal
Vibration in the brake pedal
